Mystery: The Last Shepherd

Chapter 527 The Pale Calamity
I feel like I've seen you somewhere before.

Azik stared intently at the red phantom of the evil spirit, closed his eyes, as if stirring up the depths of his memory, shoving up and dredging up the dregs that had sunk to the bottom, and trying to discern what it was like back then.

"Heh, I wonder which one you've seen before?"

Medici's cheeks split open with bloody gashes that formed mouths. "Young man from the Aegis family, the 'Death Consul' of the Byron Empire. So many years have passed, and not only have you not been promoted, but you've actually fallen to Sequence 3. You're getting more and more pathetic as you live."

"Medici, I'm really curious, what gives you the right to talk about others?"

"You yourself were devoured by Tudor as promotion material, yet you dare to mock others for declining strength. Your shamelessness and arrogance truly impress me."

The two bloody mouths immediately opened, hurling taunts without any politeness. The three evil spirits had worked together seamlessly to capture "The White Saintess" Katarina, but once their common goal was gone, they immediately began to fight amongst themselves.

"Oh, thanks for reminding me, you two good-for-nothings. After all, that's all the value you have left."

Medici retaliated with a laugh, arguing with the two mouths in a bizarre yet somewhat comical scene. Klein and Tracy on the ground watched this with wide eyes.

You've really embarrassed me.
Lu Ze cursed inwardly, opening his palm to retract the evil spirit into his body.

But Azik, who was frowning, suddenly reached out and stopped him.

"Please wait a moment."

Azik looked pained and confused, like an ancient tomb, heavy and cold.

"Lord Medici, and two other angels."

After a slight adjustment, he solemnly greeted the red evil spirit, saying, "Back then, 'Blood Emperor' Arista Tudor became a half-mad 'Red Priest' at the cost of half-madness. Those who knew the inside story all thought that the three of you had completely perished."

"Heh, the current state is only slightly better than death."

Medici sneered, "For a thousand years, I've been trapped underground with two good-for-nothings, occasionally learning about the course of history from the 'hunters' who walk right into my trap. Your old man is quite capable, actually joining forces with the witch to unleash the 'Pale Calamity' in the Southern Continent. If it weren't for the six evil gods and a newly promoted guy putting aside their differences and joining forces, he might actually have succeeded."

"Pity,"

He shook his head regretfully, "Whether it was the war between the Four Emperors, the battle of the Seven Gods, or the Pale Calamity, I, the 'Angel of War,' was unable to witness any of them."

"You're no longer the angel of war!"

A bloodied mouth laughed loudly, but Medici forcefully pressed it back down.

Lu Ze listened quietly from the side, momentarily lost in thought due to the shocking content of their conversation.

I read about this history in Roselle's diary. According to information provided by a man called "Mr. Door," during the era of the Seven Gods' War, the "Grim Reaper" and the "Primal Witch" of the Southern Continent cooperated in an attempt to counterattack the North. However, they ultimately failed due to the combined forces of the Seven Gods. The "Primal Witch" was severely injured, and the "Grim Reaper" perished, creating the raging sea that separated the Northern and Southern Continents.

And Mr. Azik is actually the son of that "Grim Reaper"?

He subconsciously looked up and exchanged a glance with Klein across from him. The latter was also very surprised, and seemed to be hearing about this for the first time as well.

"."

Azik listened to Medici's words and fell silent, a hint of pain gradually appearing on his face: "After hearing what you said, I remembered many things, but it seems there's something very important that I just can't recall."

"Hehe, as expected, there's a reason behind your current state." Medici chuckled upon seeing this. "Then I can't continue reminiscing with you, lest you actually recall something."

After saying that, this wicked guy actually concealed his form and returned to Lu Ze's body.

this bastard
Would you like to continue this conversation?

Luze asked Azik, "If you want, I can pull Him out again."

He also wanted to know about the past, those pale years.

“No need,” Azik said, looking heavy-hearted and sorrowful. He took a few steps back, stood by the ship, turned to look at the sea, and exuded a cold aura that made him unapproachable.

The sea was vast and boundless, and it was almost dusk. Golden sunlight danced on the water, reflecting the rolling clouds in the sky.

At that moment, Klein quietly crept over.

"I saw from afar that you were making a big fuss, like you were in the middle of a tough battle, so I called Mr. Azik over," he said, a hint of guilt in his expression. "But judging from what happened just now, did our arrival distract you, which led to the witch escaping?"

I meant to help, but I ended up doing something wrong.
"Your intentions were good."

Lu Ze shook his head, "Besides, that Sequence 3 'ageless witch' is extremely difficult to deal with; it's only a matter of time before she escapes."

"cut."

One of the red angels offered a dismissive rebuttal, but it was ignored by him.

"What about her? What are you going to do?"

Klein pointed to Tracy, who was lying on the ground.

"You finally remembered me?"

"Lieutenant General of Illness" Tracy's wound had stopped bleeding, but her pretty face was extremely pale. Seeing the two men staring at her, she gave a bitter smile.

"Ah."

Lu Ze glanced at her subconsciously, and M beside him shrugged, indicating that she had already unearthed the relevant information and memories, and it didn't matter how he dealt with them.

"What do you know about Katarina?"

He asked the other person.

"I don't know much. I'm just a child she had on a whim, a product of her desire to maintain a youthful mindset. What you see is that she can use me and then discard me to protect herself."

Tracy's expression carried a desolate sadness, and there seemed to be a hazy glint of tears in her azure eyes.

Although the specifics were unknown, her fleet was likely destroyed. Coupled with her lover leaving her and her mother abandoning her, her expression became even more sorrowful and pitiful. The blonde maid looked heartbroken and held her tightly.

Lu Ze gave her a cold look.

"Wow, you're so pitiful, even worse off than the slaves you sold."

He said calmly.

"!"

Tracy seemed to have been punched in the face, instantly shutting up. She was genuinely pitiful at that moment, but it was also true that she was deliberately using her ability to elicit sympathy in order to survive.

"brush!"

Lu Ze stepped forward, radiating warm, pure light from his body. But Tracy, touched by that light, cried out in agony, her spirituality violently vibrating as if it were being rejected.

The Purification of the "Dark Ones"!
Tracy struggled, trying to avoid the light, but Luze held her firmly down, preventing her from breaking free. The extraordinary properties within her were repelled by the light, gathering together and forcibly expelling her from her body!

"I go."

Sensing the unease emanating from his own body, Klein quickly retreated. He watched as Tracy's extraordinary abilities were gradually extracted.
